almer said:Mike i tried that but it is a brass 5-16x14 and i couldnt get enough heat.It has about 1/2 in white collar and black band so i cant apply heat with torch etc.Would a suitable fix be to drill it out,bore hole to 1/2 in,about all the space between collar,plug with maple or phenolic,retap,add new pin?

almer said:Im going to the shop now,ill see how it goes,guy just phoned to see if its ready.What would be a fair price for this,if it was flat faced i usually charge $55.00 for a remove old and instal new pin.thanks
almer said:I screwed the easyout in,heated with a soldering iron,covered joint with wet rag,took 25 mins,finally turned out,my soldering gun is pretty small.Thanks for all good advice,dick maybe my price is too high,the customer told me last night the other guy in town told him$100.00.
